Jerome Ford Week 4 Outlook - Ravens at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

Ford's usage in Week 4 was encouraging despite his lackluster stat line. His two touchdowns saved his day. Ford played 56% of the snaps with 12 touches and 51 total yards. He also led the backfield with a 48.6% route run per team dropback rate. Ford also handled all of the work inside the five-yard line last week. Among qualifying backs, Ford ranks 17th in missed tackles forced per attempt and seventh in yards after contact per attempt. Baltimore will lead to more uphill sledding for Ford in Week 4. The Ravens have surrendered the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the tenth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the fourth-lowest yards per carry to gap runs (Ford 58.5% gap). Week 4 Positional Value: RB3
